antiobodies are produced as the first line of defense. they are produced in bacterial, viral as well as any allergic reactions too. but, in the case with interferons they are only produced during the viral infections, for example in the case of common cold the interferons are produced which defense against the virus. they dont kill the cells but makes them susceptible.
the most common eg is the Swine Flu virus..
White blood cells release interferons to attack viruses. Interferons are signaling proteins that help to enhance the immune response by interfering with viral replication.
Various antiviral drugs can inhibit viral replication by targeting different stages of the viral life cycle, such as attachment and entry, replication of viral genetic material, protein synthesis, and release of new virions. Additionally, the body's immune response, including interferons and antibodies, can also inhibit viral replication by neutralizing viruses and promoting their clearance.
Proteins that are involved in our body immune system are called antibodies or immunoglobulins (IgG) produced by B cells. There are different kind of Immunonoglobulins IgA, IgM, IgG (antibodies). In addition, cytotoxins, histamines, interferons, tumour necrosis factors are also produced by white blood cells to defend us from pathogens.
There are three types of interferons: alfa, beta, and gamma
Inflammatory response
Proteins involved mainly in defense system are antibodies or immunoglobulins.They help to neutralize the pathogen and clear them out of the cells. In addition there are complement proteins, Interferons, cytokines, etc. in the immune system.
Interferons are anti-microbial substances that can reduce viral replication in uninfected cells by stimulating the cells to produce proteins that inhibit viral replication. Interferons play a key role in the body's immune response to viral infections.
The three major categories of interferons are alpha, beta, and gamma. These interferons have been approved by the FDA for the treatment of various diseases. Alpha interferons are used to treat conditions such as hepatitis B and C, while beta interferons are commonly prescribed for multiple sclerosis. Gamma interferon is primarily used for treating chronic granulomatous disease and certain types of infections.
Antibodies stick to any viruses or infections. They don't attack, but they are like homing devices. They track the diseases so white blood cells (the attackers) know where the diseases are.
Yes.
interferons
No, antibodies are not made of enzymes. Antibodies are Y-shaped proteins produced by the immune system and play a key role in identifying and neutralizing pathogens. Enzymes are a different type of protein that catalyze biochemical reactions in the body.
